This submarine sank the U.S.S. Housatonic in the first successful submarine attack on a warship, but was lost with all hands a short time later. It wasn't until after World War I began that the first truly practical and modern submarines were constructed.
What do you call a commander of an English Warship?
The 'commander', a term not normally used, of a British (not 'English'!) warship is known as the 'commanding officer' or 'captain'. In this sense, the term, 'captain', does not refer to his rank, as this may vary from lieutenant (e.g. minesweeper), lieutenant commander (e.g. conventional submarine), commander (e.g. nuclear submarine), or captain (e.g. aircraft carrier).The second in command is known as the 'First Lieutenant'. On large vessels, where the captain holds the rank of captain, the first lieutenant usually then holds the rank of commander, and is then known as 'the Commander' rather than 'First Lieutenant'.
